Pros

The people are great to work with, but then again, you find nice people everywhere. Benefits such as vacation and insurance are good. Work time is generally pretty flexible.

Cons

Way too many layers of management (8+). Lack of trust and belief that management knows what they are doing. So many "resource actions" (translates to permanent layoff), which results in constant looking over your shoulder and waiting for the axe to fall.

Advice to Management

Get rid of Ginny Rometty and at least 3 layers of management.
